Today is the Feast of St. Joseph, a quieter and much more important observance than Patrick. Happily it is binge-drinking is not part of the celebration. While in Ljubljana I lived with the community at sv. Jože (St. Joseph) Church. The altar was designed by Jože Plečnik, the foremost architect in Slovenia.

The commies confiscated the church after WW II to use as a movie production studio and a few other nefarious functions. It was finally restored to the Society in 1996. Much work to be done to restore and complete.

Thanks for the feedback and comments. Sv. Jože is a great place to shoot. Large clear windows present great light and occasionally very challenging light.

Thanks for commenting. I'm missing LJ real bad. Trying to get back this summer but not certain if it is possible. Next summer yes but this year is going to be a challenge.
